Bow Valley Clean Air Society (BVCAS)

BVCAS is a non-profit Society based in Canmore, Alberta that envisions the Bow Valley region to have the highest air quality free from sources of air emissions negatively affecting people, the environment and the climate.

Our Mission – is to improve and protect the air quality in the Bow Valley and minimize regional contributions to climate change.

﻿The factors below are placing increasing pressure on the air quality of the Bow Valley:

The Bow Valley is a unique and beautiful valley characterized by clean, crisp mountain air and clear views of glorious mountain peaks. These attributes continue to attract more people to the Bow Valley and result in expanding residential areas and tourism in the valley.

The Bow Valley is also a major transportation corridor and industrial center.

We are working to expand our knowledge of air quality issues in the Bow Valley and our ability to respond to and address these issues is increasing.
